Chapter 21

21 . Dungeon test

The grand magic training was over and now it was lunchtime .

Im currently talking with Aivis in the corridor .

. . In other words, you are my lord, the Demon King of Tyranny?

Ahh . The name of the Demon King of Tyranny is Arnos Voldigod . Someone has rewritten it as Avos Dillheavia .

Aivis had listened to my story without interrupting or denying it .

Whos the someone?

I have no idea, yet . But it will also be the person who erased your memory .

I see .

Aivis put a hand to his chin and appeared lost in thought .

I understand that my memory was deliberately erased, however, is it not possible Arnos that you did this to me?

A thirst for blood appears and Aivis turns his demonic eyes to me .

Im sorry but I have no proof that is wasnt me .

You have the ability . If you are indeed an enemy of my lord the Demon King of Tyranny then I cannot remain indifferent .

Aivis is no fool . Seeing it from his standpoint with no memories he has no way of telling if I am lying or not . Its natural that he sees me as a potential enemy . He saw me use Time Manipulation <Lebaido> after all and as far as he knows only I can use it .

2000 years worth of memories erased and out of the blue, someone appears as an ally and proclaims himself as the Demon King of Tyranny as well as trying to fix his memories . No wonder hes suspicious .

However, at the moment I shall remain neutral out of the nostalgic feeling I have from you .

It would be a help if you would .

Farewell .

Aivis walks off down the corridor .

That person is Aivis Necron, one of the old 7 Demon Emperors . ?

. . YesIts not possible for us black clothes to speak to him

. What about the inept person?

Whys the inept person with one of the old 7 Demon Emperors?

The students here sure like rumours . Good thing I dont care about such things .

Arnos-kun .

I turned around as Emilia called out to me .

Ive got a lost article . Please take it .

Emilia gives me a school badge with a 6 sided star on it . Its certainly not mine .

Whose is it?

A member of your group .

Sashas or Mishas then but since Ive never looked at their badges Im not sure which one .

Who?

Its not Sasha-san .

What strange wording . Why not say Mishas name?

Its negligent to use me for this . You should hand it back yourself .

I thought shed be offended or get angry but she looks embarrassed . Whatever . Misha will be looking for this after all .

Ill pass it on .

I turned around to put it in my bag and Emilia spoke to my back .

Theres a dungeon test this afternoon . Dont come here but go directly to the entrance of the underground dungeon .

Got it .

I leave the classroom and follow Mishas magic to the courtyard .

Its crowded when I arrive and in the centre of it all is Sasha and Misha .

Im sorry but I cant help you . If you want to join the group youll have to speak to Arnos .

But Sasha-sama, I have no interest in speaking to that inept person at all . Please Sasha-sama . Can you speak to him .

I cant be helped, anyway, he doesnt listen to anything anyone says .

They seem to be former members of Sashas group and apparently they want to be in my group so they can be with Sasha again .

Guess Ill intervene .

Mishas there as well but no one is talking to her .

If you want to be in my group then youll have to deal with Misha as well though its normal to think that Misha is closer to me since shes been in my group from the start .

Is it because shes wearing white clothes? Shes the logical choice to talk to if you want to get a message to me .

Thinking about it, Ive never seen Misha talk with any other mazoku . Shes not the most talkative of people to begin with . Maybe always being with me part of the reason .

Sasha-sama . Are you satisfied being in that inept persons group? Dont you have a plan?

Sashas has a bored expression on her face .

It cant be helped since we have a contract . Are you sure you want to make light of Arnos just because hes branded as an inept person? He completed fusion magic after all .

All the students fell silent . Not a sound could be heard .

Fine . Lets go .

The students reluctantly left .

I call out to the sighing Sasha .

You actually seemed like my subordinate there . Such a thrilling rejection .

She obviously wasnt aware I was there as her eyes rounded and she turned away .

. . Shut up . they were annoying me, thats all . . Sasha says feebly .

Misha, you dropped this .

I hold out her school badge .

. . Thank you .

Misha takes the badge and puts it back on .

Did you come to pick me up?

For what?

. . The dungeon test this afternoon

Oh yeah, Emilia mentioned something about a dungeon test this afternoon . Basically, its a test that challenges the dungeon thats built under Deruzogedo . Its similar to the group opposition test as you have to act as a unit .

Magic tools and weapons are placed in the dungeon and you compete to scor
